MID-TERM ELECTION CAMPAIGNS 2014 - NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN & WOMEN TO COME TO THE AID OF THEIR PARTY!!!

-->By Gloria Dulan-WilsonHello All:

In case you thought you had wandered into a massive Democratic National Campaign Headquarter, let me put you at ease.

What this is is a sampling of the many emails I receive on a hourly basis from the various candidates who are running on the Democratic ticket and who are going down to the wire, despite the Koch, Rove, Bush, and the others who are pouring millions of dollars to convince viewers to keep them in office. We know who the culprits are that have caused millions to try and thwart our candidates - the repuglycons and their minions --

If they're not in your particular district, do some homework and find out who is, and make sure you back them. Maybe you know someone whose districts these candidates represent - get the word out to them; share www.gloriadulanwilson.blogspot.com/ECLECTICALLY BLACK NEWS with them.These candidates need our money to adequately finance the campaign, which is part of the solicitation; but more than that: THEY NEED US TO GET OUT AND VOTE ON TUESDAY NOVEMBER 4, 2014 AT YOUR LOCAL POLLS - WE ARE THE ONES RESPONSIBLE FROM THIS POINT FORWARD - IT'S IN OUR HANDS - VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!GET YOUR FRIENDS OUT - GET YOUR FAMILY OUT - IT'S TIME TO TAKE BACK THE CONGRESS AND THE SENATE - DON'T BE THE ONE ON NOVEMBER 5 TO STILL COMPLAIN ABOUT NOTHING GETTING DONE AND NOTHING CHANGING - AND IF YOU CAN - CHIP IN $5.00 OR MORE TO HELP THESE CANDIDATES AS THEY GET DOWN TO THE WIRE GOING UP AGAINST LEVIATHAN a/k/a THE RETHUGLICAN - REPUGLYCON - REPUBLICAN PARTY - a/k/a THE AXIS OF EVIL

MAKE THIS THE LAST TIME EVER WE LEAVE THE GOVERNMENT IN THE HANDS OF THE GREEDY - Stay Blessed & ECLECTICALLY BLACKGloria Dulan-Wilson

My first vote in the U.S. Senate

Cory BookerUnsubscribe

Dear Gloria:

My first vote in the U.S. Senate was a failed attempt to end a filibuster.The vote happened almost immediately after Vice President Biden swore
me in, and it reminded me what I was elected to do -- to try something
different, to work with anyone serious about moving America forward.

Our shared belief that we can overcome the cynicism crippling
Washington is up for a vote this November, and it’s under attack from
outside groups who realize we are the best chance to create change on
issues like criminal justice reform and reducing poverty. I’m asking: Please -- help me to counter their message of blame and
cynicism with a positive vision for the future of our country.

Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to climb Mount Everest said,
“There is something about building up a comradeship -- that I still
believe is the greatest of all feats -- and sharing in the dangers with
your company of peers.”In to day’s Washington, where cynical obstructionism has become
common-place, reaching across the aisle to work together is often seen
as a dangerous proposition. I reject those politics because I believe that doggedly pursuing common
goals is the only way we can create real, positive change for all
Americans. It means a lot to have you on this journey with me.

Gloria, I wouldn’t be emailing you for the third day in a row if it wasn’t urgent.As you read this, Republicans are flooding the Long Island airwaves with $4.4 MILLION worth of attacks bashing my progressive record.

Tracy mayfieldinfo@schneiderforcongress.comvia bounce.bluestatedigital.comHi Gloria: I’m Tracy Mayfield, finance director for Brad Schneider’s re-elect. Brad is incredibly thankful for his grassroots support. Most polls show us tied or even ahead by a few points.

Our staff and volunteers are working AROUND THE CLOCK to reach voters, Gloria. While Scott Brown and the Koch brothers let
loose a Citizens United spending spree for Senate control – we’re
reaching out to voters and knocking on doors EVERYWHERE from the
Seacoast and Manchester to the North Country. We know precisely how many voters we need to win – and we’re out there fighting for every. last. one.

I first met Senator Tom Udall of New Mexico through his father and my friend, former Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall.

Like his father, Tom has always understood that the fight to protect
our environment and properly manage our natural resources isn’t just an
environmental issue, it’s an American one.

But Tom isn’t just Stewart’s son -- today, I’m proud to call Senator
Udall one of my good friends. This year, Tom is running for reelection
to the Senate. Tom has always been a champion for families in New Mexico
as well as the environment, and I want to make sure he has the
resources he needs to fight and win.

my apologies gloria

Gloria-- apologies for all the messages, but things have changed. Just in the last month, the number of right-wing groups spending money against me has quadrupled.
These outsiders think they can throw millions of dollars at Texas voters and buy this election. Well, they’re just plain wrong. I know our grassroots strength will outshine all the cash being spent by dark money outside groups.
But we’ve still got work to do.
Gloria, will you use the link below to make a small contribution today and put us over the top?

Gloria, I wouldn’t email you 3 times in 2 days if it wasn’t so important. Speaker Boehner just added another $420,000 to an already massive negative ad blitz.
I don’t mean to alarm you, but the pile-on of outside spending we're
seeing could determine the fate of my first re-election campaign.
So Gloria, I’m pleading. Please chip in to our campaign tonight -- before it’s too late.

our kitchen sink is next?

Ali Lapp, House Majority PACdemocrats@thehousemajoritypac.comvia bounce.bluestatedigital.com -- Kirsten Gillibrand emailed you-- James Carville emailed you -- Now, I am emailing you about this. Today
is it for Democrats across the country. If we’re not able to meet this
FEC deadline and raise what we need to, they’re going to be on their
own. They’re going to have to face the GOP’s millions without our
support.

***************Mike Honda needs our help Gloria!

Dear Gloria:
As promised, here he is: Rep. Mike Honda, our first endorsement of the month.
Mike represents California’s 17th District, in the heart of
Silicon Valley. Mike’s progressive credentials are stellar. He’s been a
critic of the unchecked expansion of drone warfare. He’s introduced bill
after bill promoting science education, including efforts to broaden
the public’s knowledge of climate change. In 2010 he pushed for
including a public option in the ACA, and has fought to expand the law
ever since.Mike is the real deal – which makes him a target. Mike is locked in a tight race – one of his most competitive
in years – and he needs our help. Mike's opponent is supported by
corporate billionaires and Republicans. We need a fighter for
progressive values who's supported by the people.

no other way..

DEMOCRATIC CATASTROPHEdemocrats@thehousemajoritypac.comvia bounce.bluestatedigital.com We thought we accounted for every possible
contingency. We thought we accounted for everything the GOP could do.
But we didn’t plan for Karl Rove. His latest attack could spell disaster for Democrats. And if Rove sees
that we’re not going to be able to match his buy when our FEC deadline
hits tonight at midnight, he could double down.

UPDATE: Win for Texas Women

We all remember that night in June, over a year ago, when the fight for
the health care rights of Texas women came front-and-center.
For thirteen hours I stood on the floor of the State Senate -- and I
didn’t stand alone. Women from all corners of Texas, and all walks of
life, stood with me in Austin. Hundreds of thousands more stood with us
in homes across the country. That fight has made it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. And yesterday, women in Texas scored a small -- but vitally important -- victory.
The Court recognized that deeply personal health care decisions should
be made by a woman, with the guidance of her family and her doctor. The
actions by Austin politicians like Greg Abbott had closed all but eight
Texas reproductive health centers, and threatened the health and safety
of hundreds of thousands of women throughout the state.
This should come as no surprise for Mr. Abbott, a politician who wants
to even make abortion illegal in the case of rape and incest.

*************

All the way to 11

Lots of GOTV operations can turn it up to 10. That’s easy. But it takes something special to turn it all the way up to 11.
Team Franken’s got almost everything it takes to crank this baby up to
11. We’ve got the people, we’ve got the passion -- all we need is the
resources. By which I, of course, mean the cash.

AAAAAARRGH!

Ilya Sheyman, MoveOn.org Political Action

Dear MoveOn member: Arrrrrrrrrgh! This decision is agonizing.
We had our whole election plan mapped out. We're pouring everything we've got into our plan to save the Senate—through
a laser-like focus on our four most important states. But now, all of a sudden, there's a chance to win a fifth. Thanks to a
scandal-dogged Republican and a great Democratic candidate who's
running a strong, principled campaign, the Senate
race in South Dakota has become a total toss-up1—and if we win that seat,
our chance of preventing a GOP takeover shoots way, way up.

U.S. Supreme Court Asked to Stop Discriminatory TX ID Law from Going Into Effect for Upcoming Elections

This
afternoon the plaintiffs have filed a brief urging the U.S. Supreme
Court to stop Texas’ discriminatory photo ID law from being used in the
upcoming elections. Plaintiffs asked the Supreme Court to vacate the
Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals decision to stay a federal judge’s
decision last week to bar the law from being implemented in the upcoming
elections.
“Texas’s photo ID law, enacted with a discriminatory
purpose, is, as intended, the most restrictive, racially discriminatory
photo ID law in the country. More than 600,000 registered voters, a
disproportionate number of whom are voters of color, will be unable to
exercise their fundamental right to vote in the upcoming election unless
the Supreme Court steps in. This law, as the district court found, has
no place in Texas's democracy, except to exclude voters on the basis of
their race, and that is unlawful and intolerable," said Ryan Haygood
who made closing arguments at the trial and directs the Political
Participation Group at NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, the
nation’s leading civil rights legal organization and a separate
organization from the NAACP.

You often
read about the millions and millions of dollars being pumped into
attack ads by the Koch brothers and their network of right-wing
megafunders. What’s
gone a little more under the radar is their massive effort to overtake
Democrats and progressives in field organizing. The
Washington Post reports that the Koch brothers’ Americans For
Prosperity, “which is expected to spend more than $125 million in the
2014 elections, plans to plow more than half its resources into
expanding its ground organization, with more than 500 paid field
staffers positioned in pivotal races across the country.”1

We need to get all this crazy big money out of our elections, once and for all … but that job becomes even harder if Republicans -- who say it’s corporate special interests’ First Amendment right to buy our elections -- make gains on November 4. And especially if they take control of the Senate. As much
work as it is refuting the rampant right-wing lies on TV and in the
media, now voters will be hearing them in their communities as well --
so WE need to redouble our efforts get out our messages that tell the
truth.

Gloria: Right now, Democratic women are in
tight races around the country. But Karl Rove and the Koch brothers are
on the air with millions in attacks that threaten to drown out their
message. We can’t afford to sit on the sidelines. If we want more women
leaders in Congress - now is our chance.
We need these proud Democrats fighting for us in Congress. That’s why
House Majority PAC was formed -- to have Democrats' backs in some of the
tightest races around the country. ...we need you to act fast.

Asking for $5 to help a few friends

Dear Friend,

Roll Call recently published their list of
Most Vulnerable Senators in the country. Some of the top targets were
Mary Landrieu in Louisiana, Mark Pryor in Arkansas, Mark Begich in
Alaska, Kay Hagan in North Carolina, and Mark Udall in Colorado.

All five of these senators are dedicated middle class champions. All
five are in races that polls and pundits alike are calling “toss ups.” And all five are major targets for the Koch brothers, Karl Rove, and the rest of the special interests.

Special interests have spent a combined $95 million to bring down Landrieu, Pryor, Begich, Hagan and Udall. And today, I wanted to help them all raise a combined $295,000 to fight back.

COLUMBUS—Today, State Senator Nina Turner’s campaign for Secretary
of State announced that a new TV ad, “Power,” will go up on air today in media
markets across the state. The ad highlights the Democratic nominee’s advocacy
for ballot access and working families throughout her career, as well as Jon
Husted’s record in office. View the TV ad: http://youtu.be/4YwdN5KB66s

The television ad buy marks the campaign’s second major media
purchase. At the end of September, the campaign aired its first radio ad. Listen to the radio ad: http://youtu.be/BdVO8Kxaes8

Only one thing is more frightening than speaking your truth: and that is not speaking.

If you agree, share this message with your friends and family.

Dear Gloria,

We're excited to announce a new campaign that we are launching that we're calling "If They Speak For Me."

Inspiring and encouraging Black women and
those who care about them to let their voices be heard, we're addressing
pertinent, hot-button issues that affect our quality of life as well as
our rights as citizens. We are demanding a more inclusive political
conversation — one in which candidates from both parties are forced to
speak up about the issues that matter most to Black people — attacks on
our freedom to vote, income inequality, and a criminal justice system
that targets our families.

In the next week, we will be sending an
important message around the upcoming mid-term elections through
powerful video content that will make people think, feel, and hopefully,
act.

We will also be helping to shape the
conversations through engaging social media activity, giving you a
rallying cry so that you can amplify your voices in the name of change.

As always, there's strength in numbers and we
need your help to give this campaign the power and push that it needs.
To accompany the campaign, we're utilizing the hashtag #IfTheySpeakForMe to increase awarenesss and spread this message from coast to coast.

money from lobbyists or large corporations that don't share our values,

Sen. Bernie Sanders:

We could lose the U.S. Senate

Sen. Bernie Sanders, on behalf of Social Security Worksinfo@socialsecurityworks.orgvia mail.salsalabs.net

Gloria,

The midterm elections are just weeks away and control of the U.S. Senate
hinges on a handful of tight races. As a member of the U.S. Senate I
can assure you that if Republicans win this November and take complete
control of the U.S. Congress, it would be disastrous for the American
people - in so many ways.
The Republican Party, under the influence of the Koch brothers and other
billionaire families, continues to call for major cuts in programs
desperately needed by working families. Unbelievably, in this very
tough economy, many Republicans want cuts to Social Security, Medicare,
Medicaid, education, nutrition and environmental programs. They are
vigorously opposed to any increase in the minimum wage or a major jobs
program that would put the unemployed back to work. But while the Republicans oppose help for struggling working families,
they are fiercely in favor of more tax breaks for the rich and large
corporations.

In this era of Citizens United, where billionaires have the
opportunity to buy elections, the only way we can defeat the Big Money
interests is by rallying the American people to stand together and fight
back. And there is no better issue to unite around than the need to
protect and expand Social Security. If Democrats are going to
maintain control of the U.S. Senate this November, they must take a
strong stance on this issue which has a huge impact on the lives of tens
of millions of Americans.

-- The race for Congress is a DEAD HEAT...the race could go either way!
-- The Koch Brothers dumped an unexpected $1.8 million into our key races
-- Your TV is being flooded with filthy, Obama-bashing ads

The triple-match is our best chance at closing the spending gap, and
it’s only around temporarily. Don’t miss out on this opportunity. This
is our chance to mount an STUNNING COMEBACK.

1-DAY MATCH EXTENSION: We’ll triple-match your support if you donate to this email:

Again, I reiterate:NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD, INTELLIGENT, ACTIVE, CONCERNED, BLACK, WHITE, LATINO, ASIAN AMERICANS TO COME TO THE AID OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON ITBECAUSE IT ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY DOES!!!!STAY BLESSED GLORIA DULAN-WILSON
